Suppose that x,y> 0 and that x\leq y. We can subtract x from both sides to obtain y-x \geq 0. Recall that (a+b)(a-b)=a^2-b^2. Now we can replace a and b in this identity with \sqrt{y} and \sqrt{x} respectively and we get (\sqrt{y}-\sqrt{x})(\sqrt{y}+\sqrt{x})=y-x. From this it follows that (\sqrt{y}-\sqrt{x})(\sqrt{y}+\sqrt{x}) \geq 0. Since \sqrt{y}+\sqrt{x} > 0, we can divide by it both sides of the inequality without altering its direction and end up with \sqrt{y}-\sqrt{x} \geq 0. Now we just need to add \sqrt{x} to both sides and conclude that \sqrt{y} \geq \sqrt{x}, which finishes our proof.

Andy is solving a quadratic equation using completing the square. If a step in the process results in 169/9 = (x – 6)2, could th
natta225 [31]
Yes the equation can be solved by factoring. Using the given equation take the square root of both sides. Both 169 and 9 are perfect squares so the left side becomes plus or minus 13/3 which is rational. Six plus 13/3 is also a rational number. If the solutions of a quadratic equation are rational then the equation is factorable. Please mark a good rating and brainlest

Can someone please help me.
Anika [276]

Answer:

Radius= 8.99 mm (9 mm)

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the formula for the volume of a cone which is

1/3 pi ×(radius)^2 *height

932.58 = (pi) × (11) ×(r^2/3)

Radius^2 = (932.58×3) / (11pi)

= 80.96m

Radius= 8.99mm

Write the computer program for;urgent​
AlladinOne [14]

ANSWER:

#include <stdio.h>

#define PAYRATE 10 //basic pay rate per hour

#define OVERTIME 15 //in excess of 40 hours a week

int NetPay(int hours);

int main()

{

int userWeeklyHours;

printf("Please enter your total weekly working hours: \n");

scanf("%d", &userWeeklyHours);// get the user weekly hours

NetPay(userWeeklyHours);

return 0;

}

int NetPay(int hours)// implementing the function to calculate total pay, total taxes, and net pay

{

int firstRate, secondRate, restOfRate, secondAmount, rest, payAfterTax, payedBeforeTax, overHours;

if (hours > 40)

{

overHours = hours - 40;

payedBeforeTax = (40 * PAYRATE) + (overHours * OVERTIME);

}

else

payedBeforeTax = hours * PAYRATE;//defining the user first paycheck before taxes

if (payedBeforeTax <= 300)//paying only first rate case

{

firstRate = payedBeforeTax*0.15;

payAfterTax =payedBeforeTax - firstRate;

printf("your total gross is %d, your taxes to pay are %d, your net pay is %d", payedBeforeTax, firstRate, payAfterTax);

}

else if (payedBeforeTax > 300 && payedBeforeTax <= 450)//paying first and second rate

{

secondAmount = payedBeforeTax - 300;

secondRate = secondAmount * 0.20;

payAfterTax = payedBeforeTax - (firstRate + secondRate);

printf("your total gross is %d, your taxes to pay are %d, your net pay is %d", payedBeforeTax, firstRate + secondRate, payAfterTax);

}

else if (payedBeforeTax > 450)// paying all rates

{

rest = payedBeforeTax - 450;
